All is Right in the End
Howards End opens with Helen Schlegel going to the Wilcox family estate (called Howards End). Helen has three family members Margaret, Tibby, and Aunt Juley. Margaret does not accompany Helen on the journey as Tibby is sick. Helen writes to Margaret and says that she is in love with Paul Wilcox. Aunt Juley goes to see Helen. When Aunt Juley arrives at the estate she meets Paul’s older brother Charles. She finds out that the engagement has no substance. Soon after the Wilcox family moves opposite of the Schlegel’s. Mrs. Wilcox and Margaret become friends. Margaret discovers that Mrs. Wilcox owns Howards End. Margaret tells Mrs. Wilcox that her family will be moving away once their lease is up. Mrs. Wilcox says that Margaret and her family can move into Howards End if the time comes. Mrs. Wilcox, however, dies soon after. While going through her will, it is discovered that Mrs. Wilcox left Howards End to Margaret. The Wilcox family, however, does not tell Margaret about Mrs. Wilcox’s intention. Two years pass, and Margaret and Helen go to a dinner party. There they meet with Mr. Wilcox. He tells them that the insurance company Leonard (a poor man the Schlegel’s met at a concert two years earlier) works for will soon go out of business. Leonard does not believe the women when they discuss the matter. Mr. Wilcox is friendly towards Margaret. He proposes to her and she accepts even though Helen objects. Charles is skeptical about the engagement because he believes that Margaret only wants Howards End. Leonard and his wife Jacky disappear. Mr. Wilcox and Margaret get married and Mr. Wilcox is happy.

...tention for Howards End, honesty is seen. I found that fate is seen in the novel too. I believe fate intends to give Margaret Howards End. When the Wilcox family keeps Margaret from receiving the estate it seems as if Margaret will never know the truth. The relationship between Mr. Wilcox and Margaret, however, lead to the inevitable inheritance of Howards End.
I find that Howards End is a delightful novel with many lessons to teach. I believe that everything happens for a reason. I may not understand what is happening or why it is happening, but in the end, I believe everything turns out the way it is intended. I also believe the truth will always be seen. I believe that if you hide a secret or try to cover up a lie, the truth will always become visible. When the truth finally sees light, much more damage occurs than if the truth is said in the beginning.
The film reflects the class difference from beginning through the end, especially between Annie and Helen. Annie is a single woman in her late 30s without saving or boyfriend. She had a terrible failure in her bakery shop, which leads her to work as a sale clerk in a jewelry store. When Annie arrived Lillian’s engagement party,
Carnell’s father dropped her off at her aunt’s Ronelle’s house with her two cousins, Delmount Williams and Elain Rutledge. Delmount was put into a mental institution after a fight gone wrong, while Elain married well with a rich man. Aunt Ronelle had recently died
It is instead a story that illustrates the life of a child who has been constantly manipulated and mistreated by the authority figures in his life. It is true that the author created a story in which we sympathize with the main character, however, that sympathy does not change the immorality of his actions. Although the novel offers us understanding as to why Ender made the choices he did, it does not excuse those

...the end when she seeks vengeance on his behalf. Winnie played the roles of wife, shopkeeper, sister, and daughter but was really only being a sister. By the end of the novel, Winnie is more of a secret agent that her husband, because she is the one with secrets that are not uncovered until the end. She enters a loveless marriage for the sake of her family, assuming the role of “wife” so that she can provide food and shelter for her brother and mother. Despite her not being able to successfully complete her mission, she still eliminates her target after his interference—which is the actions of a true secret agent.
She was a teacher at a few schools, and when she was smaller in Walnut Grove for the second time, she ran errands for her mother and other town folk. When Laura first settled in De Smet, two brothers and their sister came to Laura’s house during the hard and cold winter, the Wilders. They agreed to help the Ingalls until summer and then went off to start their own settlements. After Laura started teaching, one of the brothers, Almonzo, started bringing her home from her job on the weekends, which was a long way. Almonzo had a team of fast driving horses and a buggy. On one of the rides, they talked about their names. Laura found the nickname Manly, and Almonza found the nic name Bessie, from her middle name Elizabeth. Soon the two were married and two miles north of her parents home Manly had built a home for the two of them to live in together. Like her parents, Manly started to farm on his new land.

Laura then bore a baby girl, and even before the baby was born, Laura insisted it was a girl and that she would be named Rose. Her plans were carried out exactly. Many, Many years later, when their farm was developed and Manly and Laura were older, Laura decided to
I think my favorite thing about this novel was the realistic ending. Some books try to just give you a fairy tale but this book had an ending that mad you think in the end if I was in the same position would I do the same thing. I didn’t like the fact that the novel portrayed mental illness in a way to say that it needed to be hidden and protected. I thought this novel was very believable for the time period that it was set in. I think the ending to this novel was perfect it was an accurate ending to this

...ions he tells us his own theory for the ending of the story. Goldman gives us a short run down, a few options that could happen to once again get our imaginations moving. He doesn't exactly leave us wanting but imagining, creating stories of our own- forcing our imaginations to do some work rather than have the story do all of the work for you.
As he walks home, he meets a 17-year old girl named Clarisse McClellan. She talks to him about his job and they talk for a while. He finds out that this girl lives upstairs from him. He returns to his home after talking to Clarisse, and finds his wife lying on the bed with an empty bottle of sleeping pills next to her. He calls the emergency hospital and an ambulance comes, pumps her stomach, and replaces her blood with clean blood. The next day Mildred remembers nothing about overdosing on the sleeping pills. After breakfast, Montag goes to work at the fire station. Over the next seven days, Montag talks to Clarisse more and more. On the eighth day, Montag doesn’t see Clarisse. He goes to work that day, and the alarm sound for them to go to a decayed old house. Montag finds hundreds of books in the old lady’s attic, and one falls onto his hand. He unthinkingly hides the book under his coat and begins to spray kerosene over the house. The old woman that owns the books refuses to leave the house. Beatty begins to light the fire, but Montag stops him. Then, suddenly, the woman strikes a match and lights the house. The spectators watch in horror as the old woman burns up along side her books. Montag goes home and hides his stolen b...
I did not like the ending of the story. I found that the ending was very predictable and anticlimactic, especially when all the tension was being built up throughout the rest of the book. When I was nearing the end of the book I was already starting to envision the ending of the book and when I got to the end I was disappointed to see that I was correct. I would have preferred if the ending was more of a cliff-hanger and ended completely different than anyone would have expected.
...and through an unfolding of events display to the reader how their childhoods and families past actions unquestionably, leads to their stance at the end of the novel.
... both sides if an issue, because there are usually two sides to every story. But by looking at Frankl and examining what he has to say about the meaning of life, suffering, love, frustration, boredom, tension, etc, I have rally gained a lot of knowledge that almost is common sense. If you sit and take the time to read the material through thoroughly you can see exactly where he is coming from. He’ll take a difficult situation, such as suffering, and turn it completely around. As far as suffering goes I try to do the same thing, in a way. When Mark Felice died last October it crushed me. But I tried to look at the positive side and say well, his suffering is over and he was here to teach us how to live to be stronger and better people. Through our suffering, over the loss of his life, we ended his suffering. This is kind of what Frankl does, he turns things around and makes you view things from a different perspective. I like his way of thinking because it’s not always something that I would think of off the top of my head. Overall, I enjoyed the book although it was difficult at times to read, but I think I gained knowledge from it and see different ways to look at things now.
